$[\begin{matrix} - 5 & 1 \\ 7 & 4 \end{matrix}]$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The inverse of the given matrix is: $[\begin{matrix} \frac{- 4}{27} & \frac{1}{27} \\ \frac{7}{27} & \frac{5}{27} \end{matrix}]$

Step by step solution

- Description of step.

A square matrix $A$ does not have its inverse if $|A| = 0$ .

A square matrix $A$ have its inverse if $|A| 鈮� 0$ .

- Find the determinant of the given matrix.

The determinant of the given matrix is:

\begin{matrix} |\begin{matrix} 鈭� 5 & 1 \\ 7 & 4 \end{matrix}| = (鈭� 5) (4) 鈭� (7) (1) \\ = 鈭� 20 鈭� 7 \\ = 鈭� 27 \end{matrix}

As the determinant of the given matrix is not equal to zero, therefore the inverse of the given matrix exists.

- Description of step.

The inverse of $2 脳 2$ matrixlocalid="1648646974912" $A = [\begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix}]$ is given by localid="1648646983272" $A^{- 1} = \frac{1}{a d - b c} [\begin{matrix} d & - b \\ - c & a \end{matrix}]$ and $a d - b c 鈮� 0$ .

- Description of step.

The inverse of the given matrix is given by:

$\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{(鈭� 5) (4) 鈭� (7) (1)} [\begin{matrix} 4 & 鈭� (1) \\ 鈭� (7) & 鈭� 5 \end{matrix}] = \frac{1}{鈭� 20 鈭� 7} [\begin{matrix} 4 & 鈭� 1 \\ 鈭� 7 & 鈭� 5 \end{matrix}] \\ = \frac{1}{鈭� 27} [\begin{matrix} 4 & 鈭� 1 \\ 鈭� 7 & 鈭� 5 \end{matrix}] \\ = [\begin{matrix} \frac{4}{鈭� 27} & \frac{鈭� 1}{鈭� 27} \\ \frac{鈭� 7}{鈭� 27} & \frac{鈭� 5}{鈭� 27} \end{matrix}] \\ = [\begin{matrix} \frac{鈭� 4}{27} & \frac{1}{27} \\ \frac{7}{27} & \frac{5}{27} \end{matrix}] \end{matrix}$

Therefore, the inverse of the given matrix is $[\begin{matrix} \frac{鈭� 4}{27} & \frac{1}{27} \\ \frac{7}{27} & \frac{5}{27} \end{matrix}]$ .
